MPU-6000 and MPU-6050: Technical Specifications, Features, and Applications

Introduction
When it comes to motion sensing, InvenSense’s MPU-6000 and MPU-6050 are among the most widely adopted MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) devices. They integrate a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer on a single chip, making them a compact and cost-effective solution for consumer and industrial applications.

2. Features 
    2.1 Gyroscope Features 
        The triple-axis MEMS gyroscope in the MPU-60X0 includes a wide range of features: 
        Digital-output X-, Y-, and Z-Axis angular rate sensors (gyroscopes) with a user-programmable full scale range of ±250, ±500, ±1000, and ±2000°/sec 
        External sync signal connected to the FSYNC pin supports image, video and GPS synchronization 
        Integrated 16-bit ADCs enable simultaneous sampling of gyros  
        Enhanced bias and sensitivity temperature stability reduces the need for user calibration 
        Improved low-frequency noise performance 
        Digitally-programmable low-pass filter  
        Gyroscope operating current: 3.6mA 
        Standby current: 5µA 
        Factory calibrated sensitivity scale factor 
        User self-test 
    2.2 Accelerometer Features 
        The triple-axis MEMS accelerometer in MPU-60X0 includes a wide range of features: 
        Digital-output triple-axis accelerometer with a programmable full scale range of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g and ±16g 
        Integrated 16-bit ADCs enable simultaneous sampling of accelerometers while requiring no external multiplexer 
        Accelerometer normal operating current: 500µA  
        Low power accelerometer mode current: 10µA at 1.25Hz, 20µA at 5Hz, 60µA at 20Hz, 110µA at 40Hz 
        Orientation detection and signaling 
        Tap detection  
        User-programmable interrupts 
        High-G interrupt  
        User self-test 
    2.3 Additional Features 
        The MPU-60X0 includes the following additional features: 
        9-Axis MotionFusion by the on-chip Digital Motion Processor (DMP) 
        Auxiliary master I2C bus for reading data from external sensors (e.g., magnetometer) 
        3.9mA operating current when all 6 motion sensing axes and the DMP are enabled 
        VDD supply voltage range of 2.375V-3.46V 
        Flexible VLOGIC reference voltage supports multiple I2C interface voltages (MPU-6050 only) 
        Smallest and thinnest QFN package for portable devices: 4x4x0.9mm  
        Minimal cross-axis sensitivity between the accelerometer and gyroscope axes 
        1024 byte FIFO buffer reduces power consumption by allowing host processor to read the data in bursts and then go into a low-power mode as the MPU collects more data 
        Digital-output temperature sensor 
        User-programmable digital filters for gyroscope, accelerometer, and temp sensor 
        10,000 g shock tolerant  
        400kHz Fast Mode I2C for communicating with all registers
